About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

Last week, WJLA reportedon a company where some workers gave
up their paid vacation so that a coworker could take maternity leave.

I couldn’t find that story on their site, but I did find
this.

If we had a paid family leave system like Europe and most of
the west has, we wouldn’t think it controversial.Same if we had single payor health
insurance.(Some countries, like
Switzerland and Taiwan, have a private system that is much more regulated than
ours and seems to work.)

Still, if that generosity were expected, I’d have a problem.I, who never have sexual intercourse capable
of producing a baby, subsidize those who do.That’s what anthropology suggests gay men are supposed to do.

Most of us don’t like to replace inkjet cartridges, because
the underlying equipment feels fragile.

I had to take a refresher from HP.

The 7855 has the same instructions as the 5540.

You have to turn the power on and have properly aligned
paper, and let it run the alignment and test print afterwards. This 3:1 ink-jet (about $165 at Best Buy when I bought
it after the older laser gave out) is quite sophisticated as to firmware.

I got a power surge error when I plugged the cord in
backwards to the computer.I could clear
it only by restarting the computer.

Sunday morning (like in Britten’s Peter Grimes), July 1, I turned
on the HP Envy (which at one time had been Windows 8.1 and has been retrofitted
and updated), and it was very slow: to respond to the prompts to enter the password,
then to boot up, and show all the icons.

A restart fixed it (the restart took a little time), after
which it behaved normally.

It seems that with Windows 10 Creators Update, you should
restart at least every other day of heavy use to avoid any corruption of the quick
start settings.
